What is
Photovoice?
Reasons of Felix Amante
Senior High School
Students
for Being Absent Most of
the Time
“Yung bahay kasi namin malayo mula sa
school, tatlong sakay ako para makapasok,
kaya kapag tinanghali ako ng gising, hindi
na lang ako napasok.”
(“Our home is too far from my school, I
have to ride three times just to reach my
destination, so when I wake up late, I just
choose not to go.”)

“DISTANCE
FACTOR”
“HEALTH CONDITIONS”
“Hindi naman ako palaabsent,
pero may mga times na kailangan
ko talagang umabsent. Halimbawa,
kapag masama pakiramdam ko o
may sakit ako.”
(“I am not used of being absent,
but there are times that I really
need to. For example, when I’m
not feeling well or I am sick. “)

“Kapag umaalis sina Mama,
hindi nila ako pinapapasok kasi
walang magbabantay sa mga
kapatid ko, kaya ako na lang ang
nag-aalaga sa kanila.”
(“When my parents are going
somewhere, they would not let me
go to school because no one will
look after my siblings, therefore, I
am the one taking care of them.”)
“FAMILY MATTERS”
“ONLINE GAMING”
“Minsan, tinatamad ako, kaya hindi na
lang ako napasok o kaya imbis na pumasok sa
school ay dumideretso ako sa comshop para
maglaro ng online games tulad ng LOL.”
(“Sometimes, I feel lazy, that is why I
don’t go to school or instead of going to
school, I go straight to the computer shop to
play online games like LOL. “)
